Faster, easier, and built for government from the start

Most federal software development teams spend more time pushing paperwork around than pushing to production.

As a FedRAMP-authorized Cloud Services Provider within General Services Administration (GSA), our customers don’t need to navigate vendor contracts, exhaustive security reviews, or external approvals. Our infrastructure, pricing, and onboarding are designed specifically for government—so you can focus on delivery, not procurement.

Government-to-government, not just “govtech”

We’re not a vendor. We’re government, just like you. That means:

No RFP required

Get your team onboarded in days, not months, under a simple IAA with GSA.

No multi-year contract traps

We’re incentivized to serve your mission and our platform, not maximize profit.

No vendor lock-in

Your team retains control of your apps, data, and repos. Forever.

Get to work in hours, not months

Cloud.gov works with government agencies of every scale and complexity — from small teams to large departments, with diverse budgetary structures and purchase processes. With Cloud.gov, your digital services team can:

  1. Start building in a free sandbox within hours

  2. Quickly set up your own development environments and spaces

  3. Manage access and permissions for your entire team, space or organization

  4. Create managed service instances (databases, search) automatically

  5. Monitor metrics, logs, and application performance

  6. Manage your applications and infrastructure directly through our platform

  7. Scale your resources in seconds, without waiting weeks for ticket approvals

  8. Move into production once you’re ready, and redeploy as often as you like

  9. Pay only for what you need, not for a bundle of extras

Try it for yourself

We offer a free, no-strings-attached sandbox environment for federal staff and contractors. Test deployments, evaluate fit, and explore how Cloud.gov supports your workflows.

How an IAA with Cloud.gov works for you

Buying services with us is unlike any other provider.

  1. Initial consultation with our expert cloud services staff

    Our cloud services engineers will listen closely to your agency's mission, asking strategic questions to map your technology requirements. We partner with you to identify the right cloud services for your mission requirements.

  2. Proven and seamless agreement design

    We help estimate your usage and scope an Interagency Agreement that precisely matches your agency's needs. Consider one or multiple Cloud.gov products, add professional support services, and plan for your future with standardized language crafted from hundreds of our existing federal agreements.

  3. Simplified approvals and execution

    We work with you throughout the approval and billing process, supported by GSA’s fully electronic G-invoicing system. This phase usually takes our customers a few weeks from start to finish, compared to months-long traditional procurement cycles.

  4. Flexible deployments and renewals

    Launch your cloud services with a one-year renewable agreement designed for continuous adaptation. Months before you renew, we reach out to you about your evolving technology needs, ensuring your technology always matches your mission.

The latest 2025 federal compliance mandates, handled

Cloud.gov is already FedRAMP Authorized (Moderate), so your agency can reuse our compliance package. That means on day one, you can check these off your list:

  • Built-in continuous monitoring, monthly vulnerability scans, POA&M updates, incident reporting, and annual assessments that satisfy key FY 2025 FISMA CIO metrics under OMB M-25-04.

  • Integrated platform patching, automated backups, centralized logging, and incident alerting mapped to NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 control families like SI, AU, and CM.

  • Encrypted, isolated networking between containers with short-lived credentials and granular access policies—aligned with EO 14028 and CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model.

  • FIPS 140-2 compliant environment with cryptographic modules validated against FIPS 140-3.

You don’t have to set up your own platform to meet federal compliance requirements. We’re already operating one for you.


What makes Cloud.gov different?

Whether you're modernizing existing tools, launching a new public-facing service, or prototyping with a small team, Cloud.gov helps you get to production faster.

Easier and faster acquisitions

We partner with your team using a straightforward Interagency Agreement (IAA) with GSA. By selecting a flexible pricing tier, you can choose the cloud services that meet the needs of your agency’s digital initiatives.

Easier and faster ATOs

Cloud.gov is FedRAMP Moderate Authorized, which means it complies with federal security requirements. When you build on Cloud.gov, you leverage our compliance practices and reduce the amount of work you need to do.

Our team is here to support yours

Cloud.gov is developed and maintained by a dedicated federal team within GSA’s Technology Transformation Services.

We understand how government operates — because we’re part of it. When you work with us, you're working with a team of engineers, cybersecurity professionals, designers, and technology leaders who understand your constraints, your goals, and your urgency.
